xslt help - what am I doing wrong? - XSL - XML

#1 (**permalink**) 07-24-2008, 06:36 PM

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match='/'>

<xsl:apply-templates select='ArrayOfString'></xsl:apply-templates>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match='ArrayOfString'>

<xsl:apply-templates select='string'></xsl:apply-templates>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match='string'>

<xsl:value-of select="."/>

 

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

I try to use this xslt with the following XML and I get an error. Internet
Explorer says the stylesheet is empty or doesn't contain a document element.
Any ideas? ****This XML is returned from a web service.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<ArrayOfString xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">

<string>blah blah blah</string>

<string>blah blah blah</string>

<string>blah blah blah</string>

<string>blah blah blah</string>

<string>blah blah blah</string>

<string>blah blah blah</string>

</ArrayOfString>

Suggest you look at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5536.html especially
13 & 23.
However the error you're getting suggests that that's not the problem, are
you sure it's the stylesheet? Is this related to a post on SoapClient I
responded to the other day? In that case you're not getting an XML document
but an array.
